Preheat oven to 400°F. Shuck clams, reserving liquid.
Remove clams and cut into 3 pieces. Place back on one side
of shell. Sauté bacon until slightly crisp. Drain and
crumble. In a small bowl, mix together bacon and
remaining ingredients. Place about 1 teaspoon of mixture
on each clam. Spread a layer of rock salt 1/2 inch deep on a
baking sheet. Mold clams into rock salt and bake for about
10 minutes. Garnish and serve hot.
